Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a quote and a proforma invoice?
Both show the same price breakdown before the sale. The proforma invoice adds the notice "This document is not a sales invoice," because in many countries (including Colombia) a proforma does not replace the electronic invoice issued when the sale closes; a plain quote skips that notice because it never claims to be an invoice.
Can I generate the quote in US dollars or Colombian pesos?
Yes. Pick the currency before typing prices: in Colombian pesos (COP) values round to whole pesos, and in US dollars (USD) they show two decimals, as is standard for each currency.
How is the discount and tax on each line calculated?
The discount is subtracted from the line's gross value (quantity times unit price) to get the net value, and the tax is calculated on that net value after the discount; the line total is the net value plus the tax.
What if I don't set a validity period?
It defaults to 15 days from the document date; you can change it to any number of days and the "valid until" date recalculates itself.
